Hi Larry, On the advice of out system administrator (Mike), I would like to change two files on aeolus: /etc/svc.conf and /etc/hosts. This way, when another host connects to aeolus, aeolus will check those files first and resolve the name and IP address there, rather than going over to meteora, or whoever the domain name server might be in the future. Do you have any objections to that? If not, I can go ahead and do as I have the root password.
